Configuring Rights
The built-in database can have other uses as well. If you want to pre-register Guest users, you can do so
by adding them to the built-in database. You can also streamline the authentication process for selected
users by adding them to the built-in database as MAC address users. This mechanism lets them bypass
the normal external authentication process, and get the appropriate set of access rights immediately
when they connect to the system. Finally, Administrator accounts are also kept in the built-in database.
» To view the list of users currently defined in the built-in database, click the Users link from the Main
Identity Profiles page.
Figure 4-6. Users in the Built-In Database
The current list of users is also displayed under the Users tab on the New Identity Profile or Edit
Identity Profile screens, as shown in Figure 4-4.
The User list shows the following information about each user:
» To edit a user entry, click the user name in the Name column, or click the pencil icon at the end of the
row. This takes you to the Edit User page to edit the entry for this user (see “Creating or Editing a User”
on page 4-15).
» To delete a user, click the trash can icon at the end of the row.
» To create a new user entry, click New User at the bottom of the User list. This takes you to the New User
page (see “Creating or Editing a User”).
Table 4-1. Users Page Field Definitions
Field Description
Name The descriptive name for the user, that identifies the user in the 700wl Series
system’s Administrative Interface.
Username/MAC Address The user’s logon ID or MAC address. A user may be identified by one or the other,
not both.
Identity Profile Assignment The Identity Profile to which the user has been assigned, if any. If no Identity Profile
has been assigned, the user will automatically match either the “Authenticated”
profile (if it has been authenticated) or the “Any” profile (if the user has not been
authenticated—having not yet completed the logon process, or having bypassed
authentication as a MAC address user).
